Pictures to text FAST and EXACT! No need to type in that profound poem, that serious signage. Just snap a picture of it to scan in the text.

“We found LetterSnap to be astonishingly fast in recognizing and getting the results.” — TechPP.

“Note that all of these are complicated tasks… But the text recognition still, for the most part, worked.” — TechRepublic.

“It’s kind of the ultimate utility app, and we can’t believe we’ve lived this long without it on our phones.” — Brit + Co.

You can then post it, tweet it, message it, email it, make it into a note. Or if you have a Mac, you can even AirDrop it or paste it straight into your work. Surely a thousand words is worth a picture!

Google Cloud Vision powers LetterSnap. So you can throw most anything at it — weird fonts, colored backgrounds, Arabic*, Chinese, Hindi* and Japanese words, even text at an angle — and Google’s advanced algorithms and muscular machines will work out the text in your picture quick smart.

Looking for some text you snapped last week? The app keeps it all for you sorted by date — pick the one you want or clear away the ones you don’t. Or search for the text direct from the iPhone or iPad Home Screen. Whether it’s today or this year, LetterSnap has your back.

* with language hinting

Note: the app comes with 10 free snaps, you can buy additional snaps in batches of 200, 450 and 950.
